very interesting indeed!!!

Great Read! Very entertaining but I doubt it will ever happen. As awesome as the C6 ZR1 is, I believe it was a hard sell and I can't see GM making another expensive Vette.... but I hope I am wrong!!!! The picture of the Mid Engined ZR1 from the back is just sick.

The present Corvettes are nearly a 50-50 weight bias. Can't do much better than that. Check out an Audi R8 for luggage space. Virtually NONE. I'll stick with what I have.

Don't wish to complain, but..........posted this news from Oct 2014

Car and Driver on 27 Sept . [g].

And no one commented....its obviously all in the timing.

Tony,
welland

Ugh! I can't believe they are thinking about going back to round tail lights. How retro.

 

[New C5er]

Certainly didn't want to upstage you Tony. It's just the article I found had pictures. But $150,000 for this C8 ZR1 that isn't even as fast as the C7 zo6. ???

 

[navion]

Wanna bet on that?

Up The Displacement

Seven litre and supercharged might just do the trick for the extra hp.

Now for a Corvette Mid Engine there is always the Factory Five GTM, which uses a C5 as the donor car and a porsche tranny.

https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/gtm-supercar/ The kit is 25K, very interesting if you can do the work. There is also a guy up north who will do the build for you https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCUQFjAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.factoryfive.com%2Fgalleries%2Fgtm-supercar%2Fontario-kit-car-builders-gtm%2F&ei=qj41VI_VG9GtyASg4YCYBQ&usg=AFQjCNHLjonoVxZFRFrCc1kSVnd0a_woiA&sig2=8VbokNzOmSx2Ee1iw2B6wg&bvm=bv.76943099,d.aWw.
